| Intercepted a HP supercell around Witchita Falls after
having gotten word of a severe storm in Clay County. SPS was my original
target in the morning, but having seen the intersection of the outflow boundary and
pacific front in addition to a mesolow translating northeast, I moved my target to
Ardmore, OK and waited there. When I dropped south and east to catch the Clay County storm it was nearly stationary, backbuilding along a boundary to the SW. Storm exhibited good mid-level rotation and maintained strength for quite some time, producing up to golf ball size hail or larger. Brian Fant photographed a nice, rain-wrapped tornado near Lake Arrowhead west of Scotland, which I missed by about twenty minutes. Storm regenerated after dark with a new meso over Archer City and I chased it until late since it was moving in the general direction of Denton and home. --AM |
